DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Joachim Trier → Denmark

He systematically manipulates color palettes to fracture emotional reality, from the desaturated dread of 'Dancer in the Dark' to the jarring chromatic shifts in 'Antichrist'.

Wong Kar-wai → Hong Kong

His films use bold, clashing color combinations and chromatic excess to disrupt temporal perception and create a dreamlike narrative space where color supersedes logic.
